"Hurt me with the truth, but don't make me comfort with a lie."

Ree blinked, his head ached, as did his body. Ree's eyes slowly roamed the room that was so
unfamiliar to him, and his gaze fell on a woman who was now focusing on her cellphone. Ree frowned,
even though his vision was a little blurry, but he guaranteed that he did not recognize the woman at all.
Feeling cared for, Valerie raised her head. Her eyes met Ree's eyes, Valerie smiled happily when she
saw Ree who was conscious. He immediately stood up and pressed the bell for the doctor to come and
check on Ree.
"Thank God you're awake," said Valerie.
"Wh-who are you?" asked Ree confused.
"You don't remember me? I'm Valerie Agatha, your cousin. You forgot?" Valerie replied, but a second
later, she snapped her fingers in the air, "Ah, yes. You have amnesia too?"
Ree raised an eyebrow, "I don't understand what you mean. You're the wrong person, I'm Ree Alison."
"No, you are mistaken for yourself. You are Aretha Maharani, wife of Farrel Manggala Wdyatmaja. You
are my best friend and cousin, you went missing five years ago because the plane you and Farrel was
riding in crashed."
"You and him said the same thing ..." Ree muttered, "why are you so sure that the person you are
looking for is me? It could be that our faces are just the same."
"Wait a minute, I have proof," Valerie opened her cell phone, then handed it to Ree, "this is a photo of
us both taken exactly a week before you and Farrel were declared missing."
Ree stared at the cellphone screen, his face exactly the same as the woman who was smiling sweetly
there. He had felt that it was himself, but he returned to reality. This is not possible.
"It's just a photo, it could just be similar," argued Ree.
Valerie chuckled, "I have known you since we were both in the womb. I know what you like and don't, I
know all your habits. Even I know that on your stomach there is a black birthmark with a strange shape,
similar to that. island. If I'm the wrong guy, you look in your stomach. "
Ree sighed, it was true that he had the mark Valerie said. But is all of this true?
"I can't remember anything, Valerie ..."
Valerie smiled and touched Ree's arm, "It's me, everything will be fine. Me and Sam will help you both
remember everything."
"We?"
"Yes, you and Farrel. I wonder why you both suffer from amnesia," Valerie shook her head.
"Turns out he's not lying," Ree muttered quietly.
"Re," called Valerie who made Ree turn his head, "do you really use Indonesian here?"
"Indonesian?" asked Ree.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"You didn't realize? From then we used that language,"
"I even just found out that I can speak Indonesian," said Ree which made Valerie gawk.
"Gosh," Valerie shook her head, "is that bad?"
"I guess," Ree replied, "I don't even know myself. If Dave wasn't around, I might as well die."
"Wait, who is Dave?"
"My child ... "
"Oh my God! He was born? Jeez Re, I thought he was not safe! It turns out that all this time I've been
an aunt, and Farrel is a father-"
"He's not Farrell's son," Ree cut in.
"What?!" Valerie glared, "whose son is he ?!"
"He's Charles's son ..."
"Oh my God, you got married again ?! Actually what happened here ?! Tell me everything, from the
very beginning when you opened your eyes!"
"I'm confused too, Valerie-"
"Just vale,"
"All right, Vale. I'm confused. When I flew, I was in a luxury house with lots of tools attached to my body.
And what surprised me the most, was the fact that I was about seven months pregnant at the time. I
can't remember anything. , and just then Charles entered.
He said that he was my husband at the time, and I believe. He told me I was in an accident, and was in
a coma. I believe that too.
Two years on, Charles's true nature came out. He's not a good guy, he's rude and always asks me to
fight. He even hit me if I disobeyed him.
Until, he yelled at me, and said that we weren't actually married. He is not my husband, but he also
doesn't want to explain the truth.
I decided to get out of Charles's house and chose to live in the apartment he had given me, he didn't
chase me, but he didn't let me go. Wherever I go, he always manages to find me. His last threat, if I go
again he will kill Dave. Until I surrendered, and chose to stay in order to keep Dave safe. "
"Jeez, savage!" growled Valerie, "If Farrel hears all this, I assure you Charles won't survive."
"Nothing can bother Charles, he's a man of power here."
Valerie chuckled, "Well, it looks like you are the bell
"Looks like you forgot that I forgot my memories ..."
"Jeez, I forgot," Valerie patted her forehead and laughed again, "and you believe that Dave is Charles
Charles's son?"
"I doubt it, I'm confused."
"Come on, Re. That man has tricked you many times, and you still believe him?"
"Then, if not Charles's son, Dave's son?" asked Ree.
"Of course Farrell's son, you idiot. I can guarantee it."
"Why are you so sure, Vale?" Ree wondered, "I'm the one living with them all this time."
"Yes, it's because you told me yourself."
"You mean?"
"That night, when this photo was taken, we were gathering at your house. At that time I clearly
remember, you didn't stop smiling ..."
"What's wrong with you?" Valerie stared in surprise at Retha who continued to smile, even though they
were currently cooking.
"I'm happy," Retha said with a chuckle.
"Glad there must be a reason, Re. What makes you happy? Farrell bought you new jewelry?"
"No," Retha shook her head, "this is more valuable than jewelery."
"So what?" asked Valerie curiously.
"Want to know?" Retha asked back.
"What do you want?"
"Secret," Retha stuck out her tongue.
"Re, do you know if the knife is sharp?"
"It's fierce, Vale," Retha laughed, "here, yes. I'm telling you, but it's a secret."
"What?" asked Valerie impatiently.
"I am pregnant!"
"Hah?!" Valerie glared. "Farrell already know?"
Retha shook her head, "I'll tell him later, when he was in London."
